I am only halfway through this program, and I am already beyond impressed! I have tried many other dog obedience programs, but Sam Ivy’s behavior training is absolutely the way to go! My sweet boy Teddy, who had never ever been aggressive got aggressive when I added another dog to my pack. I knew I had to do something immediately and Holli has been absolutely instrumental in helping me realize that things are going to be just fine. She took time to listen to all of my concerns and was very empathetic, but yet firm in letting me know what I had to do to make the changes necessary. The key is I’m learning how to be the pack leader!!! Both dogs are responding amazing and I cannot believe the results so far. I could go on and on and on, but I will provide a final update at the end of the program, which I already know is going to wield spectacular results. I highly highly recommend Holli and Sam Ivy for any type of training, whether it be behavior, obedience, etc.

I absolutely love this training program! I have been doing basic obedience training and training service dogs for over 3 years now. I have never done any aggressive behavioral modification training. So when I got a 12 week old puppy with hopes of training him to be a search and rescue dog. To find out he had aggression towards dogs, put me in a panic! After scrolling through TikTok (as one does) I came across Sam Ivy K9! I scheduled a consultation and Sam assured me that I was not alone and that everything was going to be okay. The same week I started training with Nate and while for me, the training never ends, but at the end of the training program with Nate I can say I have a wonderfully behaved and intelligent dog. My pup went from reacting to any dog way down the street, to sharing the back seat and small trailer with his new dog best friend. Thank you to the Sam Ivy K9 team! To anyone who’s concerned, lost, frustrated, hopeless, or even just considering giving their dog away, please, set up a consultation with this team. They’ll have your back

Finding Sam Ivy K9 Consultants Inc. has been a life saver, literally and figuratively! Holli has seriously changed our lives and the relationship between my dog and I. Before training, I had adopted a 4 year old doberman/pitty that was so destructive and did not respect me or my belongings. I struggled with coming home to accidents in the house, pulling on leash so badly that I dreaded walking her (was even dragged on the ground on Bayshore one time!), my door completely chewed through while I was at work, dominance issues with my cat, etc. I was so overwhelmed and cried all the time. At a loss, my mom found this company. Holli is not only so knowledgable about dogs in general, but specifically the Staffie breed. She is always available via text if I have a problem or question.. answers within 10 minutes and I not only know what I need to do for my dog, but the rationale behind every behavior and correction. It is like I have a brand new dog in only a few weeks! Family and friends have all seen the drastic change. She can walk on leash without pulling, heels at my side, knows "sit", "stay", "come", "spot" and is overall much, much calmer without requiring medication (was previously requiring Xanax and Trazodone). It has been truly amazing. Consistency is key, but these dogs deserve our love and commitment. It is totally worth every penny spent. I can't thank Holli and the team at Sam Ivy enough for saving my dog's life and my own quality of life. Thank you SO much from the bottom of my heart!

I am so happy that we hired Sam Ivy Consultants to help us with obedience training for our one year old golden doodle. He was becoming a handful and our family was becoming increasingly frustrated. We attributed a lot to normal puppy behavior, but it was clear that some personality traits and bad manners were only getting worse. Stealing food, counter surfing, jumping on guests, barking at other dogs, eating toys and socks, and on and on. We began to feel that his training required a more formal approach than my previous DIY training. Sam Ivy explained the process thoroughly, listened to my long list of issues, and assured me that his training method would work. Gina was our trainer and she was wonderful. The Sam Ivy method WORKS. Before getting started with straight forward obedience, Gina helped me address every single one of our dog's bad habits. She found a solution for every issue and we saw progress towards better behavior in the very first week. After about two months, the changes have been drastic. The instructions were all clear, with homework to be done between zoom sessions. The time commitment was well worth it and I'm so happy that we hired Sam Ivy. Gina was a fantastic fit for our family and sweet dog. She really helped us bring out the best in him, and we are enjoying his company so much more as a result.

I called Sam Ivy looking for hope for my 5 year German Shepherd male! My German Shepherd was having aggression issues with other dogs. We took the class with Holli,which she is a wonderful trainer! My dog, is definitely doing great! It's nice when others also recognize the change! I would definitely recommend this training for anyone! Thank you so much, Holli and Sam Ivy

My wife and I were at our wit's end with our new rescue, Bailey. She is a great dog but had issues with authority and excessing chewing. We heard about Sam Ivy through a friend. They had great success with the Proper Pack Behavior program and suggested we try it. We got in touch with Sam Ivy himself and discussed the issues we were facing with Bailey. After speaking with him, we decided to try the Proper Pack Behavior program. We worked with Holli, and she was an excellent trainer! All of our sessions were done via Zoom, and we have access to all of the training session recordings. The difference after the 3 weeks (6 sessions) was night and day! Bailey now walks on the leash without issue, eats on a regular schedule, has little to no issues with authority, and is fully Spot trained. We still have some issues with chewing from time to time, but overall, this program was quintessential to our (and Bailey's) success. If you are having trouble with your pup, look no further than Sam Ivy's courses. Oh, and definitely ask for Holli, she was awesome!

I don't know where we would be without SamIvy and our trainer Hollie! We were running out of options with our pittie mix. SamIvy isn't just any training service, it's a coaching service. Everything was able to be done in our own home and over Zoom, which made it easy to work around with our busy schedules. Hollie listened to our concerns and made sure we were comfortable with the training that we were working on for the session. Not only have my husband and I seen a huge improvement in how Dio copes with his triggers, but so have my parents. We were given the proper tools and shown how to use them correctly to work alongside Dio and help him be the best version of himself.

I have had Sasha since I she was 6 weeks old. She is the sweetest and cuddliest girl and has been since I got her but around age 2 she started developing anxiety and aggression issues towards other dogs that made it hard to find boarding, take her for walks, and even just for me to leave her at the house. I worked with a training company that required A LOT of work and attention to detail that I just simply could not keep up with, and honestly was focusing on the wrong things in my opinion. I was looking into a training "boarding" program but had seen conflicted reviews about the dogs relapsed behavior once getting back with the owner, and it was double the price of SamIvy. Finding SamIvy really saved me and Sasha's relationship. Her anxiety was getting to the point where I felt there was no other option than to rehome her. She couldn't be left alone in the apartment with trying to claw through my front door. She couldn't be left in the crate without causing damage to the walls and the floor trying to escape, not to mention the harm she caused herself in her elaborate escape routes. SamIvy, Nate, to be exact, helped me reestablish a proper relationship with Sasha that has not only allowed me some peace of mind, but has honestly allowed us to bond and connect, despite the strict demands that come into play with the program. I always felt that being strict was "mean" and didn't want to go that route but it was the downfall of our relationship and how to got to be where she was at. I didn't know how to give her the proper tools to be a "good dog." Nate helped me through a difficult time understanding the role of being a dog mommy and the responsibility this entails. I am so grateful that I found SamIvy and hope to continue to learn more as we continue working through the "triangle" over the next several months and years. Sasha used to be awful to walk, I had to be very selective with anyone willing to help because of her aggression and strength but she is as calm as a cucumber now and enjoyable to take for walks, as she very attentively follows my lead. I look forward to continuing to see my girl flourish as we continue to put in the work! I highly recommend this program for anyone struggling like I was!
